[ANN][NOTE]DNotes - Celebrating DNotes 3rd Birthday - Forum Now Open

[Dyna]

There are so many exciting things going on with Dnotes the last month or so, I am very impressed. Congratulations to the development team. I've been pretty under the radar the last wee while, I ended up swapping 3 out of my 4 university papers on the very final day (3 weeks into the course) for timetable reasons and have ended up with a 3 week handicap accordingly, combined with increased work . It isn't fun having something due, while you have lots of material to cover that you have missed from previous weeks.

That said, I still check this forum most days, along with Poloniex exchange etc. I am quite pleased with what I see! Almost 1000 satoshi! lets get some of that lasting value yeh?

Good to hear from you and thanks the great research you sent me a few weeks ago. I will finally have some time to work on it.

GUYS MINTPAL consider cancelled our votes! problem is important!

Where did you see this information?

PS: Thank you also!!  I just want to see why they would do that since with their new system I don't see how there would be a problem...

Thanks uszaty43.  It takes a lot of integrity to come from the Conspiracy Coin community and warn a competing coin of a problem that you are experiencing.  Thanks for the heads up.

Now we are building a coin I hope after our launch we can collaborate with DNOTES in a JV..I got some great ideas and I am so enjoying trading DNOTES daily now again on POLO..

I just checked Mintpal, and we are in 2nd place.  Conspiracy is in 1st, and good for them....  They got a strong loyal community just like us, with some real interesting things showing in the Analysis paper they have on their BTC Talk Forum ANN post. Can't say that I follow the coin, but to each their own, I am certain they will do well.

The consideration to cancel voting is stemming from some of the other coins (at least one, whom will remain nameless)  who are claiming that we (Dnotes, and Conspiracy Coin were named specifically) are using bots in order to inflate our voting numbers. I ran across this while looking at some of the other coins in the lead to see what they were all about.

Now I am not certain how that would be possible, as in order to even cast a vote you need to be a registered user with an active trading history...  But the accusation was made, and it was noted on the open forum that at least one supporter of a competing for a top spot currency had emailed Mintpal repeatedly with the accusations. 

If I was in Mintpal's shoes, I would of course look into allegations of foul play, because if someone is gaming the system, then what else could be impacted...  If they take action beyond that, that's for them to decide.

With this short timeline for getting added to the exchange, the competition is heating up, and people will do whatever they can in order to get their favored coin into a better position.  I am just glad that this community is standing with the integrity of the coin, rather than running wild with allegations, crying wolf, and resorting to what I personally would deem underhanded practices.

Sorry... I just read this and realized I was ranting...  I'm going to bed now.

[Micrux]

Okay..  I didn't go to bed....

I tracked down the post again because I wanted to see if there was any new information.
Apparently the person who emailed Mintpal, has spread the word to at least one other coin within the top 10 on their btc forum ANN post requesting others to report  Conspiracy Coin as cheating, as well as Dnotes, and BitcoinTalk Coin.

Nothing like competition to bring out the worst in some people.

Freedom of speech is a good thing. All good things have a cost, and in this particular case; not necessarily always correct, accurate, unbiased, or expressed without ulterior motives. As I mentioned before, I have a simple rule of engagement in dealing with these kind of situations. ”Do not engage.”

<sigh>

This is the dark side of altcoins, immaturity, backbiting and childish behavior. One the reasons I invested in DNotes, no of that here. Besides, the best bots would have great difficulty getting around the image capcha routine if it's even possible. If they want to know why we have so many votes, I'm willing to bet it's the same reason I vote hourly, I leave Mintpal up in the background at work and switch every hour to vote. Simple, 8 to 10 votes a day and, add 4 more if I'm working on a computer related project at home. That's 12 to 14 LEGAL votes a day just from me.

No cheating needed here, we do it the old fashion way, we earn those votes! Oops! Gotta go add one for DNotes now...

Is anyone following Ecuador's plan to release it's own digital currency in the fall?  It sounds like they are doing it for all the wrong reasons - check this out:

They are centralizing a decentralized entity. They are only doing it to gain control before other crypto currencies take over. Be interesting to see what happens to their govt controlled currency of record, the US Dollar...

Keep up the good work on Mintpal voting! We are in the home stretch.

This is quite clearly a desperate move by a desperate government, and it wouldn’t be the last.  There is a serious misunderstanding on how the value of a crypto currency is established and the critical importance of sustainable value stability of the currency. Any attempts by a government to manufacture Crypto currency value out of thin air will not do much better than many of the scam coins we know of today. By definition, a given crypto currency is a global decentralized currency owned by a community of stake holders. It is not owned by an individual, an entity, a company, a state or a government. Some may think otherwise. When they do, they fail. For example, one DNotes is worth .00001 Bitcoin today, because the last buyer actually bought it at that price.

The true value of the currency is what the other party would agree to as a medium of exchange and not because Ecuador’s government told you so. If Ecuador’s government has a serious debt problem today using fiat currency, their financial problems will be compounded by switching over to include crypto currency, even in part, because by comparison, crypto moves at the speed of light verses a truck load a fiat currency by a slow moving train. Backed by “liquid assets” will quickly becomes meaningless, because they currently do not have enough of it, or they wouldn’t have a debt problem. Maintaining stability will be a nightmare resulting in serious liquidity and a bank run like the spread of a wild fire.

As a controlled life test, Smokeys Daylily Gardens is now accepting DNotes and Bitcoin for payment. We are very happy to be the first merchant to accept DNotes, and the first in our industry to accept any kind of digital currency. Although we are in a testing phase, I wanted to let our DNotes Community know about it and help us test and critique the process. This will allow us to gather real life data for our development team. As you may know, DNotes is positioning itself to be the preferred digital currency for global commerce. We are proud to be part of it.

It has been physically and mentally challenging for me the last few weeks in assisting Smokeys Daylily Gardens to move from 10 different locations and a green house in Ashley, Indiana to a single 38 acre farm in Coldwater Michigan. This has been a two year move involving millions of plants. Smokeys Daylily Gardens, which was started with a carload of daylilies from my gardens seven years ago, is now the largest grower of daylilies in the world. We made a commitment, right at the onset, to be the best in class. We also made a conscientious decision to run it as a business, not as a hobby; a common practice among our competitors. As one of our winning strategies, we are always prepared to “do things others can’t or will not do.” Less than 5% of businesses started 7 years ago will experience this level of success. Statistically, majority of them are no longer in business.

To be the best in class is a serious commitment.  It takes a special group of people who have the patience to forego instant rewards and gratifications. This is a rare breed in the crypto industry. It takes a community of dedicated stake holders who genuinely believe that working together as a group to achieve a common goal is the best way of protecting their self interest for the maximum mutual benefits of everyone. DNotes started out with a very small group of individuals who share this philosophy. While still relatively small in number, this group has noticeably grown, and expected to pick up momentum and continue to grow rapidly. The impressive show of force in the Mintpal voting efforts and the high level of support for DNotes price are good evidences to support my observations.

We are now well positioned to take DNotes to the next level. If you have not introduced DNotes to your family and friends, it is still a good time to do so. Thanks for your great efforts voting for DNotes at Mintpal. Stay tuned.

Congratulations Smokeys Daylily Gardens on being the first merchant to accept DNotes!  This is a very smart move on the part of the development team to test this in a controlled environment!

The single most important objective of DNotes is to be the preferred digital currency as the medium of exchange in global commerce. This will take years of hard work, many great strategic moves, relentless leadership, a great development team, and a dedicated community of stake holders working together to win the biggest price of all; mainstream merchant adoption of DNotes. When merchants begin to feel that their competitors have an unfair advantage over them for accepting DNotes, while they still don’t, we would have truly made DNotes mainstream.

With Smokeys Daylily Gardens being the first merchant to accept DNotes as payments for its products, you are witnessing a baby step of DNotes today in its long journey towards mainstream merchant adoption of the currency. DNotes was created and launched on February 18, 2014 with a clearly defined mission to be “The Digital currency of the Future with Lasting Value.” To be worthy of that destiny, DNotes must consistently demonstrate that it is a trustworthy digital currency with stable value and reliable long term appreciation. It must also be widely available with great liquidity. We are well positioned but a long way to go. We are still on the ground floor and the train is just about to leave the station.

Congratulations to Smokeys Daylily Gardens – the first merchant to accept DNotes!!!
